# Miden node store
`store` contains the persistent state-store implementation used by the Miden node. It is part of the
[Miden node](https://github.com/0xMiden/node#readme) workspace and is embedded by the `node` binary rather than operated
directly.
## Role
The store owns the node's local view of chain state. It persists blocks, notes, nullifiers, transactions, account data,
and the authenticated data structures needed to answer state queries.
## Crate-Specific Notes
The default `rocksdb` feature enables disk-backed storage for large Sparse Merkle Trees. Building with this feature
requires a C/C++ toolchain and the system support needed by RocksDB bindings.
For operator-facing storage configuration, use the `node` help output and start from the
[primary README](https://github.com/0xMiden/node#readme).
